Forgot to mention the Trumpeter Swans coming overhead! Groups of 15 to over 20. Will see a couple hundred total. Beautiful, with their trumpet calls, & against the whitish-gray of the sky. They fly north in the morning & come back south starting about 3 PM.

Along the Snake River out of Blackfoot, have had 14″ new snow since Fri evening. Yesterday’s was a heavy, wet snow with high water content. After shoveling off the decks, was inundated with American Robins. A group of 50+ came in to drink, where a bit of shallow water collected, from a few spots of remaining melted snow.

At the feeders, seeing a few more male Red-winged Blackbirds arriving. Also, the males of American Goldfinches & House Finches are getting a bit more colorful. Plenty of DE Juncos are about, a few Spotted Towhees & both BC Chickadees & RB Nuthatches sneak in for seeds, as they can.
